Printed entirely in Arabic; the annotations read: "The locations included in the basis of this map are dependent upon the best information available to us at their composition in 1942. The exact location of many of these locations goes back to the what the analyses and journeys of foreigners showed and is therefore subject to modification. This map does not denote the borders in obscure regions". Other notes on the map indicate that the borders in the southeast, southwest, the Empty Quarter, and the northwest have not been delineated. Curiously, the map retains the designation "Al-khalij al-farsi" for the Arabian (Persian) Gulf, reflecting Arab-world naming conventions of the early 1950s.We have been unable to trace another copy offered at auction.Very rare: in spite of having been co-produced by the U.S. Government, today the only copies listed in research collections are those at Princeton, at the University of Manchester, and at the Beirut Library of Human Sciences. A greatly reduced new edition, measuring only 46 x 62 cms, was issued by Archive Editions in 1992.

Reid & Son on reverse, minor surface dirt, handling creases, unframed, R.H. Laurie, 1847.⁂ Scarce. The British Library appears to hold a number of earlier states of the present map, dated 1820, which did not include the additional "flap" section showing the 'North Georgian Islands'. The present chart appears to relate to Purdy's publication 'Memoir descriptive and explanatory to accompany the charts of the northern Atlantic Ocean; and comprising instructions, general and particular for the navigation of that sea'; the University of Cambridge Libraries hold an edition published by R.H. Laurie, 1845. Several times throughout the chart itself, text descriptions suggest referencing the memoir for further information, and also that the chart is 'Accompanied by a Book of directions &c., Entitled 'Memoir, Descriptive, and Exploratory', by J. Purdy.We have been unable to trace any examples of the present chart, or variant states, at auction over the last 20 years.
